McCrometer V-Cone flowmeter

McCrometer’s V-Cone flowmeter is a differential pressure instrument that is suitable for use with liquid, steam or gas media in rugged conditions where accuracy, low maintenance and cost are important. The V-Cone is especially useful in tight-fit and retrofit installations.

The V-Cone is designed for today’s most challenging oil and gas production, chemical, food and beverage, plastics, pharmaceuticals, district HVAC, textile, power, water and wastewater applications.

With flow conditioning built into its sensor design, its centrally located cone interacts with the fluid steam, reshaping the velocity profile to provide a stable signal that increases measurement accuracy. The pressure difference exhibited between the static line pressure and the low pressure created downstream of the cone is measured via two pressure-sensing taps, one placed slightly upstream of the cone and the other located in the downstream face of the cone itself. The pressure difference is then incorporated into a derivation of the Bernoulli equation to determine the fluid flow rate.

The V-Cone flow meter is available in flanged, threaded, hub or weld-end as standard with special connections available on request. It is said to offer better accuracy and repeatability, wider rangeability, installation flexibility and reduced maintenance.
